"Like marriage, confession is understood in all cultures, because it is universally recognized that the spirit cannot carry its burdens and mistakes without disintegrating. We need to release all that is dark witnin us lest our psychological and emotional demons consume us and cause us to see all others as dishonest, corrupt. fearful, and guilty of negative actions. When these demons hold sway, we become saturated with the energy of paranoia and are unable to trust others fully." - from the book, Why people don't heal and how they can" by Caroline Myss.
I have been inspired by many people and things as of late. I have been on a journey of self-healing and self-discovery in a way that I have never done so before. I am questioning my path in life, the people that I met along the way, the ones that are still with me, and the ones that are not. In her book Anatomy of the Spirit, Caroline Myss states that the act of confession is calling your spirit back from a past experience that has a hold on your energy. Think about all the dead things we carry around with us, all the things we should have said, done, or not do. I know that I was carry the dead weight of my past for so long, and it did nothing but leave me with a bruised self-esteem and a broken heart, ( I am not talking about boys only...anyone can break your heart). Anyone who says they don't have a self-esteem issue is lying. No one is born with great self-esteem, it grows as you grow, matures with who you listen too, and blooms when you love yourself above everyone else.
Every night I light a candle, and say my confessions, and call my spirit back from where it is either stuck or lost. Confession requires a act of willpower, because it means that you are ready to face your own shadow and to make amends. You recognize that the choices you make at each moment of your life do have consequences. Even our negative choices directed to ourselves, cause us to see the harm we have done to ourselves.
No matter what your faith is, or what you believe in, pray, pray to call your spirit back from the past, pray, for protection, guidance and love to always be with you...all the days of your life.
